Full details

These shoes offer the significant benefit of rugged construction and a secure, supportive fit, making them an excellent choice for light to moderate hiking trails.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The CAT Surge Hiker is built for durability, but they are not marketed as fully waterproof. It is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray if you anticipate wet conditions.
Can I use these for daily wear?
While designed for hiking, their durable construction makes them suitable for daily wear if you prefer a rugged aesthetic and added support.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing. If you usually wear hiking boots, it is recommended to stick to your standard size unless you prefer extra room for heavy-duty socks.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal liners can typically be removed if you need to use custom orthotic inserts.
What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Stuff them with newspaper or a dry cloth to absorb moisture from the inside and let them air dry naturally. Never place them directly on a heater or radiator.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly cramped at the start
Adjust the lacing tension throughout the midfoot area and ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks rather than thick cotton socks.
Visible dirt accumulation on the nylon upper
Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft brush, then use a damp cloth to remove residual dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your CAT Surge Hiker shoes provide long-lasting service, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: When trying on the shoes, ensure you have approximately a thumb's width of space at the toe. Wear the specific socks you intend to use for hiking to get an accurate fit.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short walks on flat pavement for the first few days before heading out on challenging trails to allow the materials to conform to your feet.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down the nylon exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. High heat and prolonged sun exposure can degrade the bonding agents and materials over time.
